[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/yesavage-trey/AoUU3jW9/"]Yesavage[/a] was on the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/toronto-blue-jays/zcDLaZ3b/"]Blue Jays[/a]' 15-day injured list, set as week-to-week. However, due to Toronto sitting behind five teams in the battle for the final wild-card spot in the American League, the 23-year-old could miss the rest of the season.[/p][p]The right-hander, who was the team's first-round draft pick in 2024, had a 5-5 record this year with a 3.65 ERA across 18 starts. He has managed 91 strikeouts and 46 walks through 93 2/3 innings.[/p][p]Yesavage's debut came in 2025 when he went 1-0 in three starts. He posted a 3.21 ERA as the Blue Jays reached the World Series. During the postseason, he played six games, starting five, going 3-1 with a 3.58 ERA.[/p][embed guid="caf1cf43-f5a9-4e65-a28d-df879456a35e" url="https://x.com/KeeganMatheson/status/2087272498605769186?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]His last game came on August 4 when he lasted only two innings before being replaced. [/p][p]It is also a stressful period for the Jays given recent roster developments.
